Mathew POV.
"Hiii you must be Mathew" a guy asks, he's longer than me, bulkier, and scarier, I just nod my head yes. I was waiting to get my bag, he must be the guy the family sent to pick me up, when I saw my bag coming, I got closer to get it but the guy beat me to it, he picked it up like it weight nothing."Uhh yeah I am" I say remembering he asked me a question."I'm Zach welcome home" the guy say with a giant smile before leading me out of the airport toward his car."I'm sorry for your lost Mathew, but I'm sure we can be good friends, the whole coven is a big family, we're all here for you" Zach says, I just nod my head yes, and mumble a thank you.The rest of the ride was quiet, I didn't feel like talking and he respected that, we drove from the airport for about an hour before reaching what looks like a mansion, the place was huge, and I mean huge! It even had a backyard pool, my jaw must have dropped since Zach chuckled at me before adding."Close your mouth, you're gonna catch some flies" I obliged and was quick to close my mouth, I knew all vampires live a rich man life, they spend centuries in the work field, they accommodate many treasures and wealth. But this is the first time I get close toward a vampire home, well my home now, I should know there's no going back to my old home, not with mom being dead."Welcome home guys" a girl says getting close to the car, she looks young, everyone does, vampires don't age, not ever, dad hardly looks in his twenties while he's eight centuries old. When I got out of the car, she got close to me giving me a hug, letting my head lean against her shoulder, she rubbed my back and even kissed my cheeks, it wasn't in any sexual way, it was just a family greeting, like meeting a baby for the first time."I'm aunt Violet, your dad is my baby brother, and the guy who drove you is your cousin, my son Mathew, feel free to come to me in anything happens okay?" she explain.I knew dad had a family, but not an aunt, he never talked about anyone in specific, just the family, our phone calls weren't that often either, just in the last few years when he explained a bit about being a vampire and needing the blood."My aunt?" I ask still shocked."I can't believe that brat didn't tell you about me, no wonder you never called" she says sounding hurt, like she really wanted me to call her before."Uhh...sorry, me and dad don't have the best relation" I say honestly, cause we don't."It's okay Mathew, you're here now and I'll get to know my baby nephew" she says pinching my cheek, I'm too old to have my cheeks pinched, I just pull back from her reach."He's too old for that mom" Zach came to my rescue before he took my hand and dragged me inside the house giving me the grand tour and showing me around.The place included a pool, a gym, too many bedrooms, a movie theater, James office that was a big no-no! Finally Zach showed me my room, it was a standard room, the decoration was mostly plain but I could add anything I want to it, Zach left my bags there saying he'd help me unpack.Putting my thing away wasn't that hard, I didn't have many things but Zach was all in to buy me new things, apparently he loves shopping. He's not a bad guy either, he's funny or at least he seem like it, he also told me there's no more hidden aunts, and he's my one and only cousin."I never had a brother or a cousin! But now we got each others" Zach says all excited, I couldn't but be happy for his excitement, I smiled back and even gave him a hug."How old are you?" I asked him."I'm twenty five and you?" he asks back, he's older than me, but in vampire years, this hardly count."I'm seventeen" I answer, I was still in school while he's in college, he didn't go to college right away after high school."That's nice, I think after Anna you're the youngest around the house" he says."Who's Anna?" I ask, I'd like to know who the person younger than me is, maybe we go to school together."Annalise, but Anna for short, she's a kitten. She's only sixteen" Zach explains."A kitten?" I ask, I knew most wealthy family have one, a shifter who's a half cat, also known to be littles and in need for a care givers.I was always interested in the care givers littles dynamic, I could never regress like some people who could go back to being just few months old, but I was interested non the less.Mathew POV. After finishing unpacking my room, grabbing a quick bite, Zach invited me over to his room, it's the one right next to mine, we even share a bathroom but the two of us. He said he didn't want to share it with some stranger, that's why he gave me it, but I knew he was really excited to have a cousin moving in. His room was the opposite of mine, it was messy, filled with DVDs, he got a PlayStation set connected to a flat screen in the room. I wasn't very big on video games, but I didn't mind playing with him, I sat down next to him and started a new match. I was losing terribly, that's when the door opened, a guy walked in, he had long black hair, grey eyes, he looked like a giant compared to me, even than dad, but he was beautiful he had the aura or authority. "Zach I need you to keep an eye on Anna" he says ordering the guy, in his arms was some kind of a bundle, all I could see was a blanked and a tail, this must be Anna. "Do I have to? Can't mom keep an eye on her, s
Annalise POV. Hi there, the name is Annalise, Anna for short, I'm a kitten shifter as you can see, I have the ears and tail of a cat. I'm tanned with brown long hair but tail and ears are blond, daddy call me special and cute, my eyes are hazel colored. My daddy is James, the big guy sleeping next to me, he's like so tall! So tall, everyone is shorter than him, when he carries me no one can touch me up high. He's a vampire, he's also a bad guy, he's the one in charge of the whole family, he's been my daddy since day one. He explained to me that he's my daddy, like really my daddy, he used the word mate, that we are together forever. I just loved the part where he said together forever, he had to bite me one time, it hurt just a little bit, but then he said nothing else would happen, no one dares to touch me or say anything to me, they go to daddy and he mostly punish me for misbehaving. I had school today I've been going to school, well only this year, daddy wouldn't allow me to go
Anna POV. School is something, I get to meet other people, some just coo at me, others are meanies, I loved school. But there's just this one teeny-tiny problem, I tend to get in fights, I can't sit still if someone is being mean to me, or my friends. I heard people talking with Mathew, we're having our vampire class now, next would be lunch, I couldn't wait to introduce Mathew to my friends. People still act all mean about me taking a vampire class, they say I don't need it but it's daddy, who's a lord orders. Mathew sat next to me, I could hear the words being said behind us, the tiny whispers but I have a great hearing. "What is she, his girlfriend or something?" someone asks."How does the lord allow two babies in" another one."Look a mouse and a cat. What a lovely couple" the words kept going I tried my best to ignore them. The class was over, we got our things and get ready to leave, I held Mathews hand again so he won't get lost, we almost made it to the cafeteria, that's
Mathew POV. She called me her boyfriend, he's gonna kill me, James is going to kill me now for sure, I watched him send her out of the room. I wanted to run after her, I was ready to hide behind the kitten shifter. "What happened Mathew, who called you what?" James asks, he doesn't sound angry, he didn't sound angry while talking to Anna either. "Uhhh...he just called me" I say tear welling in my eyes again, I was about to cry. "Mathew, do you know who am I?" he asks, I look at him and nod my head yes, I know he's the lord of the house, he's the one in charge. "Mathew, eyes up here" he says, I didn't dare to look right away.This time, he came closer to where I'm sitting, he went down on one knee until we were on the same level now, he held my face in his hand making our eyes meet. "You know who I am?" he asks in a softer voice, I don't think I knew what he means. "I don't understand" I say this time, I don't think we're on the same page right now. "Mathew, I'm your mate" he s
Mathew POV.The room we walked in was the room Anna stays in, there was a crib, a playpen, changing table, and tons of toys in one corner of the room. But the room also held some of James stuff, the desk, the giant bed with dark covers, the walk in closet, I could see some of his suits from my place in the door. In the bed, there was a small bundle hidden under the covers, her school uniform was discarded all over the bed, James just shook his head at her. "Let's wake her up" James says dragging me with him toward the bed, he pulled the kitten toward him messing with her hair making her whine."Didn't you tell me you don't want to nap?" James ask her but she just whines and go back to sleep, pushing his hand away. "Your boyfriend is here Annalise, don't you want to see him?" he asks rubbing her back this time trying to get her to wake up. "Matty?" she asks still half asleep, I couldn't help but smile at my new nickname. "Yes Matty is here" he says again getting her to wake up, sh
Anna POV.Daddy said we can keep Matty, that he's now both our mate, that's awesome, although daddy haven't bitten Matty yet, I guess he'd do it later. I also got away without a punishment, I only tried to fight to keep Matty safe, it's not my fault, the other guy was being mean to us! "Matty I want juice" I tell him, we've been playing for the last hour, daddy went back to his work, I loved having someone to play with me, especially that daddy get buys most of the time. "Uhh..okay" he answer not knowing what to do, poor Matty, I go to him and hold his hand down toward the kitchen. I opened the fridge and stood up on my tiptoe to reach the juice box. "I'll get it" Mathew says, he's a bit taller than me, not by much, but he is, he got two juice box for us, we held hand while going back to our room, that's when we saw Zach. Me and Zach have a love-hate relation, mostly hate, he's a meanie who always yells at me, and I hate him. But he also get me chocolate sometimes, so I still like
Mathew POV."Tell me everything! Now!" Zach was demanding me to answer him, we were now in his room, Anna went to see James, her daddy, my mate, our mate now. "He's my mate" I say blushing, "Both of them are" I say adding later. "But how! James! The head of the house and the kitten! Why haven't you said anything?" he asks, sounding hurt. "You know I would be on your side, like always, but still you hide having mates from me" he says sounding angrier now. "I didn't hide it...it's just that...I didn't know" I say finally giving in, telling him the truth, why I didn't know they were my mates to begin with. "How could you not know! It's obvious! Every vampire is looking for his mate!" he says with frustration, every vampire is, but I was raised between humans, even with the classes I took in school, they weren't enough for me to know much about mates. "I didn't know! I just didn't know!" I say frustrated. "How could you not?" He asks me, I just didn't!"I wasn't born or raised as a
James POV. I had Annalise, but now I also have Mathew, I knew he was mine the second I smelled him, I saw the way he looked at Anna. He didn't say a thing, I thought he was shy, I was too busy that night, I had a meeting with the other vampire lords, I felt more comfortable leaving Anna with her mate than Zach. Although she and Zach doesn't agree on many things, they are like siblings who'd fight all the time, he's the best one to leave her with during the night. She was already half asleep, he just had to keep an eye on her, Annalise moves too much during her sleep, she'd wake up in the middle of the night scared and looking around for me. Usually I'd leave her in her crib, but since I knew I'm going to be late, I was sure I won't be back until late hours of the night, early morning. It would be a safe bet to leave her with Zach, as expected I wasn't back until very late night. Anna was in deep sleep next to Zach, I picked her up and took her back to our room, she cuddled closer
Anna POV."Daddy tell him off" I whine, Matty, been annoying me for the last thirty minutes after we played that one time with the car's toys, he found a new part in him, the little boy who likes to annoy me. "Mathew" daddy says not even looking up from his work on his desk, Mathew went back to poking on my ears, he's just jealous that I have pretty ears and he doesn't. "Top it or I put you in the corner" I warn him, I sometimes, go to mama bear space, or that's what daddy calls it, when I'm there, I get to punish Mathew for misbehaving. Poking my ears doesn't count, that's up to daddy to deal with him, Mathew just made fun of me, copying me. "Daddy tell him!" I say again out loud, this time, daddy does look up at us, he raise a brow at Mathew who just act all innocent, the liar! "Mathew stop poking Anny." Daddy scolds him, but that wasn't enough for me, we were both sitting in his office, he said he needs to work, but we didn't want to leave him alone so we followed him to sit wi
Mathew POV. Anny is having a sleepover with Daniel, they are both sleeping at Thalia's place, the lioness really have a weak spot for the kittens, I wonder if her mate would be a kitten too, or maybe it'll just be a little. The night was ours, usually I'll be scared of having a night alone with James, but not anymore, I'm used to him now, I kind of love him even. "We gonna have so much fun without you Anny, I'll get daddy all to myself, I'll stay up late. We'll even have ice cream without you and watch horror movies." I say teasing her."You is afraid of horror movies, you might pee yourself at night" Anna says teasing me back, it's true, but I can watch a horror movie with her gone. "Well you won't be here to know" I say she just rolls her eyes at me, daddy was finishing packing her things."Which stuffy do you want Anna?" he asks her, she never sleeps without one, if he send her without a stuffy, he'll end up picking her again by bedtime. "I'll take Mr. sparkle, leave Pinkie to
James POV. Anna and Mathew were both napping, I guess waking them up early for the doctor appointment drained them both. I was catching up on all my work, being away for almost a year means tons of paper work that need to be done, I also was planning my big revenge on the one who hurt me. I couldn't leave my two babies alone, instead I had to send someone, the lab was now shredded to pieces, courtesy of a small homemade bomb. I also had my family to keep up with, paychecks needed to be sent, bills needed to be paid, being the head of the family means I need to take care of everyone, keep them in check. I was almost done, I wanted to go and check on them before they wake up, they both hate waking up without me there. Making it up toward our room I could hear them both, they were fighting yet again, I could hear Mathew say words like. "Get off me!", "I'm not a baby stop it" he was whining. "You not my daddy" Anna replies, before screams starts yet again. "Mathew! Anna what's happe
James POV.I've been back for a while, but the littles aren't the best, I knew they need some extra attention, extreme attention. Annalise ears were inflamed, I noticed that when she sleeps, she always made sure that her ears aren't touching the pillow. Mathew have lost weight, he's too skinny for my liking, they both could use a doctor visit to make sure they are okay, knowing that Annalise she's going to hate that visit, but Mathew, I just hope he'll be okay with it. "Anna, time to wake up kitten" I say trying to shake her awake, she didn't want to wake up, she's been giving me hard time getting back to her old routine. She mostly wanted to sleep same time as Mathew, even if he wasn't sleepy then, she would try to change her own diaper without asking for my help. "Go away" she mumbles cuddling closer to the pillow, going back to sleep, I moved to Mathew, he wasn't any easier to wake up. He on the other hand been trying to keep me away, I tried to hold him close to me, but he just
Mathew POV. He's back, I never hated human as much as I did right now, they almost killed him, they took him away from us, but he's back. I didn't know how to react, do I get mad like Anna bear and hug him? Do I keep my distance? Do I hug him and say I missed him, I've been suffering without him, I had to take care of her, but had no one to take care of me, I never knew how much stress that would put on me. I stood back, he hugged me but I was holding back, I had no idea what to do now, Anna just had her daddy back but what about me, is he mine? Or is she mine? Would she want me too? Or would she just want him and push me away from them both. "Matty what's wrong?" Anna asks I was standing away, letting them have their moment, but she noticed me standing away. "Mathew" James says opening his arms for me again, I just shrug, and stay away. But he doesn't take my answer well, he pulls me closer to him, hugging me fully, I was sandwiched between him and Anna now. "I missed you baby M
James POV. They think their cuffs would hold me, they think I'll give in? They thought wrong didn't they learn anything from the supernatural, we live together for so long and still they do stupid mistakes, like assuming a lord would give in. But if that wasn't a clue enough on how strong I am, I have two mates depending on me, I'm move heaven and hell for them, stupid humans, they think their love can be placed next to our mating bonds, we'd die for our own, but if I die, so will Annalise, I couldn't die not for her, not for Mathew, my cage was made or titanium, an attempt to keep me in, they only fed me once every two month, keeping me weak, they had me sedated, they tried everything. But they don't get I'll always come back for the one I love, and the one that hurt me, their faces are scared in my memory, I'll never forget what they did, I'll never forgive them, and I'll be back. Leaving the lab wasn't easy, I needed blood, new fresh blood to get my strength back, one they spent
Anna POV. He's gone, I hate him, I don't want him back! He just left me, he left us. Mathew wasn't doing any better than me, he's hurt, he tries to act strong but I see behind the mask how to hurt Matty is, sometimes he'll go hide away and cry. It's all his fault, James promised to never let me go, he promised me that the day he has bitten me, the day he made me his mate. But it was an empty promise, one he broke without any regrets, he probably found another kitten to call him daddy. I don't miss him anymore, I don't care that he's gone, even if it's been too many days for me to count, I don't miss him! Stupid tears stop falling! "Anna bear you good kitten?" Mathew asks, he's the one taking care of me, we'll we're taking care of each other now. "I'm okay, just hungry" I lie, if I tell him I miss James, he'd start crying too, I don't want him to cry. "You want to go get some dinner?" He asks, I haven't been eating much lately, if it wasn't for aunt Violet I doubt any of us would
Mathew POV.One month have passed since James went missing no one knew where he is, he just disappeared from the surface of earth. Everyone is looking at him, we have searching mission on going, we called, we threatened but he wasn't found. We asked the feys for help, we asked for favours from everyone. He wasn't in the fey land, he wasn't in the shifters territory, we went as bad as assuming zombies had him but he wasn't there. Annalise isn't take this well, she got out of her headspace, it's killing her, a kitten can't be out of her headspace for long. I didn't know how to deal with her, even with help from others, she needed her daddy, I might be the boyfriend but she doesn't obey me. Tonight wasn't any different, she refuse to put her diaper on, she already had an accident today, we're looking at a second one. "Annalise, come here now" Insay trying to sound firm, she wasn't giggling and enjoying me chasing her, she honestly didn't want this. "I said no! I'm a big girl" was her
Anna POV, "Matty wake up" I say shaking dada up, daddy wasn't here, he haven't been since last night, I remember falling asleep in his arms but then he left, I woke up in the middle of the night but only Matty was there, and now he's not here."Anna, go back to sleep, it's early" he says his eyes still closed, but I knew daddy wasn't okay, something was wrong, we have a bond, something he Mathew don't have yet, maybe that's why I could feel him while Mathew couldn't. I knew something was wrong with him, I needed to get up and find him, I need to find him now. "Mathew, this is real!" I say for the first time in a long while going out of my headspace, I rarely get out of it, but this time I did, something was wrong, he won't believe me otherwise, my voice was different, more mature, I sounded like big me. "Anna, are you okay?" Mathew asks, my voice waking him up, he knew this was real now. "James is hurt, something isn't right, I can feel it" I tell him worriedly.We both leave the
